What would happen to you when you get sent to jail and tortured for a few years and then your home country refuses to take you back?

According to a post made earlier this week I believe, Karpov said that Fischer was already an Anti-semite when he talked to him in the mid-70s. I'm too lazy to find the thread but, if that's the case, nothing that happened to him later in life caused this behavior.

You are indeed correct, it's taken from an interview in the latest Chess Life Magazine.
